@Types/node/index.d.ts TypeScript Error TS2309

Question

I have a .Net Core Angular 2 project using SystemJs that I have recently upgraded from Typings to @Types.

The project has been completely rebuilt with the latest VS tooling for .Net Core 1.0.1 and TypeScript 2.0.10 and Node.js 7.0.0 as of 12/21/2016.

The project files were working properly before updating to @Types.

I am getting the following Error from @Types/node/index.d.ts:

TS2309 "Build:An export assignment cannot be used in a module with other exported elements." Line 3626

Line 3626 of @Types/node/index.d.ts is the Export for the "assert" module declaration.

Here are me config files

Answer 1

Suggestion from TypeScript guys on GitHub fixed for us.

Do a search for the following -

declare module "assert" {

It should only appear once in your project. We had it in two files - the TypeScript definition file in @types/node package and a 2nd one in our wwwroot folder which needed deleting and had been copied over in error by a Gulp task and was getting picked up by the compiler. Hope this helps!
